If it’s when motor is trying to start, motor is bad. If any other time, dryer would have to be disassembled to find source of noise.
Check loose fan belt
check loose or worn gear
SOURCE: dryer makes loud grinding noise when you cut it on
The dryers drum runs off a belt as you may know to spin it around to dry clothes. This belt is attached to a belt tensioner also to keep the belt snug. This tensioner has a roller with a bearing in the middle of it. Most bearings are made of brass and wear out causing it to grind
I would replace the belt & tensioner pulley as a unit. Sears will have these two parts selling together as a kit. Go online to view with your make and model number to see
